about

I'm a PhD Student in the Potioc team (now Bivwac) at Inria, Bordeaux, working under supervision of Yvonne Jansen and funded by the Ember project. I study predictive visualizations for personal decision making. It means that I'm interested in investigating different ways to assist and guide people towards more informed decisions, via visual support most often based on their personal data.
+ I'm into all kinds of maps and big circles.

projects

Time estimator
An online tool that displays a predictive visualization of the duration of personalizable tasks.
It was developed as a result of a study on predictive visualizations for estimates of task duration. For more details, you can read our paper and pre-registeration on OSF. You can also directly access the full results.
